Inamorata, Paperback Ed Paperback – September 30, 2010

Michael Manning is one of the most brilliant fetish artist if not most brilliant artist of this age. As an artist myself, i can appreciate the beautifully flowing erotic lines, the stunning composition, and the eroticism that flows from every sensuous image. The stark contrast of his mostly black and white ink renderings leap from the page without appearing cartoony, and yet seem otherworldly. If there is an artist whom I'd aspire to be like, it is this brilliant artist whom not only illustrates the most wickedly sensuous fetish imagery, but whom is himself involved in the bdsm lifestyle. If there were a slave I'd most like to emulate, it would surely be similar to one of his creations. His artwork is not for the narrow minded but rather for those in the fetish lifestyle. Many of his images deal with transgender and involve fetishes that go to the edges and beyond of what society typically deems acceptable. Personally however, i'd have no problem sitting his book on a coffee table next to books of other artist masters. i can not give a high enough recommendation for his artwork. It is an inspiration to future fetish artist.

Michael is somewhat of a trailblazer; his art opens eyes and minds. To see someone who is able to translate their dreams and fantasies into art is a rare thing.

I was impressed with the quality of the art. This is nice without being strictly pornographic. I only wish that more of his books would get re-printed so I could purchase more

Michael Manning is an exceptional artist, but he is very limited with variety - if you have seen one illustration, than you have seen them all! The book was very inexpensive, but not exactly what I was expecting.

If you enjoy Michael Manning's art, and are not rattled by very mature subject matter, you'll like this book.In previous books, Manning toed the line of decency- in this one, he not only crosses it, he urinates on it.For fans of very edgy, very naughty erotc art, you can't do much better than this.

another great great portfolio from michael manning, i am eagerly looking forward to buying his other 4 new portfolios, i look forward to hopefully the next chapter of the Spider Garden

Wonderful art, nostalgic mid-90s style. Great for the coffee table, especially if the guests are prudes.

This is a tremendous masterpiece. Beautiful art, on the edge of a dream.

I used to think that H R Giger was the closest thing to ultimate darkness and wonderful decadence, but not so! Michael Manning's Inamorata has literally blown him away! The art work itself is fabulous, the use of line contrasted with his treatment of shiny leather leaves me speecheless! And that's just his technique! The imagery is astounding! All those wonderful debauched scenes with nothing left to the imagination! No potential 'what are they going to do?' Manning delivers! Only for those of a VERY broad mind.

Very interesting book, for unusual tastes. The art is unusual but one can appreciate it. I purchased this for my ex-girlfriend about a year of two ago and she liked it artiscially. Good condition and delivery speed.
